Product Management Coaches, Events, and Resources

I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check. I was an interviewer at both Google and Facebook and have spent many hours "on the other side of the table." I can give you a strong sense for how you might be perceived by hiring managers and recruiters.

I am a Senior Product Manager at Amazon with 15+ years of experience across Amazon, Rakuten, and FedEx, including product, program, project, operations, and cross-functional leadership roles. I help candidates turn scattered experience into a sharp career story, then practice communicating it clearly in resumes, interviews, and networking conversations. My coaching is strongest for product management, technical program/project management, business operations, and tech-adjacent career moves. I can help with PM behavioral interviews, product sense and strategy discussions, execution stories, resume and LinkedIn positioning, career transition narratives, and mock interviews. I bring a practical hiring-manager-style lens: what is the signal, what is noise, and how do we make your examples easy for an interviewer to trust? I coach in English, Japanese, and Chinese and work especially well with international candidates targeting global tech companies or cross-border roles.

I bring 20+ years of experience with a robust blend of technical, strategic, and leadership expertise to my coaching practice. As a product management executive (VP), I did not take the traditional PM career path. Instead, I leveraged my diverse set of work experiences — spanning engineering, consulting, and product marketing — to showcase my unique strengths and stand out in a competitive field of more traditional PM candidates. Now, I’m here to help you do the same. I specialize in empowering senior leaders to accelerate their careers and achieve meaningful personal and professional growth. Through personalized coaching, I share the strategies and tactics that helped me break into product management, thrive as a leader, and ultimately reach the executive level. My extensive experience includes leadership roles at top companies such as Bill.com, Intuit, LinkedIn, and PayPal, where I honed my skills in product management, marketing, and customer experience. During my tenure at Bill.com as VP of Product Management, I helped drive the company’s revenue growth by over 10x to approximately $1B ARR. I hold an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo. Whether you’re aiming for your next promotion, planning a career change, or preparing for a leadership role, I’m here to help you unlock your full potential and stand out in your career journey.

After a few years of consulting at Accenture, I went all in on resources and learning about product, to then pivot to PM at Capital One. There are a lot of parallels between consulting and product management - stakeholder management, business analysis, and problem-solving. I want to help you break into product management and prepare you for the different types of interviews: product skills, product design, business analysis cases, and behavioral fit. I'm helped clients land offers at companies such as Asana and Capital One. Whether you're early or mid-career, technical or non-technical, I'd be happy to chat through how your experiences translate over to the product space and what additional skills are needed.
